Ivy Elementary

Public Grades K-5

43^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,111 Virginia Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Virginia elementary schools

Summary

Ivy Elementary is a K-5 public school in Albemarle County Public Schools serving 358 students in the Charlottesville, VA area, and it consistently ranks among the very best elementary schools in Virginia—earning a 5-star rating and a #43 state ranking (96th percentile) for 2025-2026.

Academically, Ivy's test scores are simply outstanding. In 2025-2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency reached 96.4%, and 4th-grade reading hit 96.1%—both roughly 20–25 percentage points above the district and state averages. The school has shown a strong upward trajectory, with 5th-grade math climbing from 76.0% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 94.7% in 2025-2026. Ivy also stands out for exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 3.3%, far below the district's 11.8% and the state's 14.8%. That's less than half the rate of nearby Greenbrier Elementary (6.8%) and one-third that of Woodbrook Elementary (17.6%). Ivy's closest rival, Virginia L. Murray Elementary, ranks #11 in the state, but Ivy actually has a lower free/reduced-price lunch rate (8.4% vs. 11.7%) and better attendance.

One of Ivy's most distinctive strengths is its performance with male students, who ranked #16 in Virginia (99th percentile) in 2025-2026—a remarkable achievement given many schools struggle to close gender gaps. Ivy also achieves its results efficiently: it spends about $13,091 per student, which is significantly less than lower-performing nearby schools like Mary Carr Greer Elementary ($17,181) and Woodbrook ($16,680), while maintaining a larger student-teacher ratio. The one relative soft spot is 5th-grade Virginia Studies at 82.5% proficiency—still above state averages, but below the 93.5% posted by Brownsville Elementary. Overall, Ivy combines elite academics, superb attendance, and strong subgroup outcomes, making it a standout choice for families in the Charlottesville area.
